Question

Calculate the weight of a 1 kg object on Earth which has a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s2?

A. 0.1 kg


B. 9.8 kg


C. 10.8 N


D. 9.8 N

Answer 1

• Mass (m) = 1 Kg
• Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2
• We know, weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
• Therefore, weight of the object

`= 1kg \: \: * 9.8 {ms}^( - 2) \\ = 9.8 \: \: N`

Answer:

B. 9.8 N
